Full Description:
Who and where we serve…
There are 35 million orphans in India. We serve several orphanages located near Hyderabad, India. Most have lost one or both parents; many come from families too poor to provide for them.
We currently work with an orphanage that has between 200-300 children, ranging in age from 5 to 18 years. Their modest living conditions include dormitory style housing and a dining hall. The main language is Telugu but many of the children do know some English.
How we serve…
Each mission week is action packed with work projects and great interaction and relationship building time with the children we serve. The work projects are designed to improve the facilities, programs, and living conditions of the children. We start each day with a morning quiet time and group prep time. Then it is off to work. We wrap up the projects by mid-afternoon and then spend the afternoon and evening doing activities with the children. We end each day with worship and debriefing. Besides serving at the children’s home, groups traveling to India provide a variety of donations. Upon arrival we sort and prepare the donations for distribution during the week.
Housing…
When on a Back2Back India trip, your group will stay at an orphanage in guest housing. Traditional Indian meals will be provided. We recommend that you also bring your own preference of snacks such as packaged tuna, peanut butter and power bars. Our groups will house at the children’s home in separate dorms divided by male and female.
